LOS ANGELES - April 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Kip Addotta, also known to thousands as Uncle Kippy, formally announced his candidacy for President of the United States.

Launching his grassroots campaign from his own kitchen, Mr. Addotta—a well-known comedian and entertainer—insists that his campaign is no joke.

“This is not a ‘bit’ or a gimmick. I feel I have been called to service in order to return this country to the greatness we once held,” said Addotta.

Not one to sit and wait for the rest of the candidates to announce, Mr. Addotta has already established his platform. His populist message of serving the people’s wishes, restriction of lobbying, avoiding entangling foreign relations including unnecessary military operations, while keeping US dollars and jobs at home has already struck a chord with everyday citizens.

Mr. Addotta has a well-established track record of success in entertainment and communications. He has made over 1700 television appearances during his storied career, and has performed on the biggest stages in the world with some of the most renowned entertainers in the industry.

“It’s time to put a fresh coat of paint on this nation of ours, so that each and every individual is important. So each citizen feels that what they do matters. Because I truly believe that every single person in this country is important. That’s why I want to be your President of the United States. To restore the voice of each American citizen,” Addotta said.

The campaign’s official website is kipaddota.com, and is issuing frequent messages via Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Campaign donations may be made on PayPal via the email address kipaddota@earthlink.net.
